Works with any schedule
The reason why I chose to join to CF was because I can do my work anytime I have free time, I have been sending info request to a lot of schools but none of them works with my schedule, my tutor and mentor are helping me a lot with my study too. - Amy SenftlebenMarketing Art Director/Designer • Student • UI Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
I'm happy with my choice
I'm almost 4 months into my 9-month UI design course and I've been very impressed with the quality of the content and the student support. I have a great tutor and mentor who have been super supportive, and I feel like I'm learning a lot. I was looking for a course with great UX and UI—CareerFoundry practices what it teaches. I'm looking forward to the job placement support when I get to that point in the course. - Mrinmayee KulkarniGraphic Designer • Student • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 12, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Great Program for Career Change & Upskilling
Initially I enrolled to improve my data analytical skills particularly in SQL, Tableau, and Python, but fortunately I got the opportunity to learn a lot more than that. I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours).

I appreciate having an assigned tutor, mentor, and career specialist to ask questions and get personalized responses in a timely manner (within 8-16 hours). All three were detailed in their feedback on my assignments, and gave me useful tips for improvement in the future. I also appreciated that they're practitioners in the field, so I got a "real-world" perspective as it related to the fundamentals we were learning throughout the lessons. The lessons were broken down in a clear and easy-to-follow manner, so it's definitely doable for beginners and those who looking for a career change. Though there were definitely some challenging lessons for sure, they were never unreasonable for a student. While I'm not currently looking for a career change, I'm still participating in the job preparation portion of the course as it provides great tips and tools I may be able to use in the future. I particularly found the elevator pitch and resume building lessons beneficial as it helped me reframe how I present myself both verbally and on paper. - Shawn-Michelle JohnsonStudent • UX Design Program • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Worth Losing My Job For!
I learned about this program when my job was on the line and I was being pushed to go back to college for a Bachelor degree. As there wasn’t a degree option relevant to my job, I pitched the Digital Marketing program at Career Foundry which I’d found while doing extensive research. It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep.

It had great reviews and I had a phenomenal experience with my Admissions rep. Learning about career guarantee, the specialization, and the ability to have access to other courses made it even better. The company didn’t support the idea so I was let go and I immediately enrolled in the UX Design program. I’ve been in it for 2.5 months now and have absolutely no regrets. I have a great tutor and knowledgeable mentor and am impressed all around.

At present, I'm pursuing the UX Design Course and have completed one-third of the second segment. This marks a complete transition in my career, and I found the Intro to UX (the initial milestone) to be an excellent primer on the topic, with no overwhelming or unattainable aspects.

Grateful for CareerFoundry
I spent a lot of time reviewing different bootcamps to take for UX design, and CareerFoundry stood out to me as the best. Their pricing is fair, and the lessons are good. I love getting to learn by doing, and CareerFoundry does a great job of setting up each lesson with a practice assignment at the end. I also love that I have a personal tutor, and a mentor that I get to meet with once a week for advice and guidance. I could not recommend CareerFoundry enough.

Best Educational Experience I've had so far!
I started my CF program in UI Design on January, 2022 and finished it on January, 2023 so it took me a little longer than I expected to finish but I did so with a full-time job. Before getting into the CF program I started learning progressively with youtube videos, then Coursera courses and finally CF program. This way I made sure I was making the right choice in my career change journey into Tech from Aviation. I can't stress enough how good this program is and I have a bachelors in me...I started my CF program in UI Design on January, 2022 and finished it on January, 2023 so it took me a little longer than I expected to finish but I did so with a full-time job. Before getting into the CF program I started learning progressively with youtube videos, then Coursera courses and finally CF program. This way I made sure I was making the right choice in my career change journey into Tech from Aviation. I can't stress enough how good this program is and I have a bachelors in mechanical engineering. CF gives you literally everything you need to do a career change. You will get a tutor and a mentor that are experienced (and working) in the industry and after you finished the program they provide an invaluable course on job preparation that gives you all the tools you need to find that first job. Also, you get a mentor for your job prep too. CF will give you all the tools you need to have a successful educational transition into the real world of tech but it requires the students effort to make it work. This is a 50/50 deal and it can only work if you take every suggestion and implement it. They know what they are doing but without proper student execution it wont matter. Be ready to study hard and give it your all and take every single course from the introductory ones to the job prep, it is really worth it. After I finished my course I found my first job in 6 weeks. Some context, I'm new in town, no prior industry experience, the job market at the time of this review is awful with tech companies laying off people by the thousands, and it is a 100% remote job at a great company that I like. All in all, I can't recommend CF enough as my experience was great from start to finish and it's paid off. Also, I got a better salary now as a first-time designer than at my previous career with a decade of experience. If you are sure about the new career path that you want to take, this is a great way to get to the job you ultimately want. Just remember to make that extra effort so it works.
